Bridging the Bars

With the night of the 27th and the night of the 28th being my target days to resume the assault on my body with booze, I full filled my goal spectacularly on the 27th. Having given up drinking 6 weeks prior due to mistakes made and health reasons after the 27th I realized I've now got a very distinctive gage as to how much I drank. Before I had problems of throwing up, but more commonly spitting up blood the morning following a night on the town. As I laid on the couch like a helpless drunken baby I once again got the taste. This time however it was much more viscous. The texture was something more comparable to toothpaste than blood. I did my best to suck it up and realized that there was no point in laying around as I still had shit to do before the sun set. After visiting my dad in the hospital and grabbing a Triple-O burger from the food court I gave Katie a call to make sure she hadn't cancelled on everyone, as due to the situation she wasn't feeling up to it. I made it back to the Keep and before I knew it Keith was already over drinking his prestigious Grey Goose.

Told you these nights were overlapping.

Location: The Keep
Time: 7:30

As ManU proceeded to get drunk the girls (Red, Pirate, Step Sister) were taking their time getting ready cause they figured that with no line no cover all night there was no rush. This bothered me a bit but not as much as it normally would cause it gave me some down time to lounge around and watch the Oilers game. On an average night we might get to see a bit of the first period before heading out, we managed to watch 2 and a half periods. In the time it took Red Riding to finish getting ready the plans for the night had already been laid out. After a bunch of calls I had a general idea of how everyone was getting down to the Bank and it couldn't have come too soon as the streets where turning into chaos. With the possibility for myself to head across the river to wish Northern Tundra Fairy (ya know that kind of sounds like an enemy of Mega Man) a happy bday at the Iho, I did my best to throw together a contingency plan. Though most people weren't too fond of the idea I figured I'd keep it as a possibililty. With the cabbies backed up for a few hours we scrambled for a ride and Step Sis mangaged to come through and her step-dad was able to give us a ride. Once on the streets we realized how fun it was going to be to make it to our destination. Our thoughts were all on those few souls heading down 97th street.


Location: The Bank
Time: 10:30

After a cautious trip and a few run red lights we arrived at the Bank. On the way in the bouncer made a comment about my outfit which I later explained. Once inside I did a general walk around to see what the place was like as I'd never been there. I have to say it wasn't what I expected. On the main floor the bar lay-out just seemed obscure and out of place and there were pointless walls/dividers all over. It was generally too dark and full of darkies. I can't say I spent too much time downstairs as it was a smaller area that was already full and other than a Black Petered washroom there wasn't much to it. We found our reserved section and popped the bottles of champagne. SWAT, Prize Fight, and Laura we already there and enjoying some MGD. Within 20 min Douche Bag, Mr. Incredible, Ghostbuster, Rylee, Pop, Snap, and Donnie Darko arrived. As Rylee is the newest name to come across the E-town boys we did our best not to scare her away with our drunken escapades. Once the staff realized that the birthday girl had arrived they brought out the food platters. The first out was the cheese, corn nut tasting crackers, and fruit that consisted of grapes and strawberries. Most people had a nibble here and there but ManU and I shock and awed the whole thing. Once that was finished they brought out the popcorn chicken, chicken strips, and some sort of roll (chinese I think) as well as a variety of dipping sauces. After a few glasses of champagne I tired contacting Slutty Wench and Tundra Fairy but after a few infuriating and all together not helpfull responses I figured I stay at the Bank for a bit. Once I weighed the options and if there was any actual point in me going to the Iho I decided I may as well give it a shot as she did ask me show for a bit. So with that thought in mind I gave a heads up to a couple people and headed out the door to catch a cab that just pulled up. A couple people managed to get the cab before I did and after a brief convo I found out they were going to the northeast, maybe Clairview Pub or something. As I looked around for another cab the bouncer that had commented before realized I was wearing a Warriors vest and we laughed and joked about the movie as he use to love it when he was younger. A cab was stopped at lights and I hailed him over, after telling the bouncer I'd be back I hopped in the cab and gave him the destination.


Location: Crazy Taxi
Time: 11:15

Once in the cab it seemed alot more awkward than I had anticipated. I had decided to sit shotty to be a bit more friendly and maybe engage in some convo but the cabbie himself wasn't all too friendly. With the lack of music playing in the backround it made the silences that much more awkward. After about 5min of traveling to the south side it dawned on me that the driver didn't seem to confident in driving in these snowy conditions. This became even more apparent as we took the right line onto the high level and slid sideways into the curb. We straightened out and continued on across the bridge and down 109st. As we approached the 109st and 82ave intersection I asked which ave we were going to take to get to the Iron Horse, he told me he was gonna head down Whyte itself. We were by the cross walks and at this point I thought about suggesting we slow down as the "walk timer" was ticking the last few seconds and we were about to make a left turn. I didn't though and it almost cost me. The light turned red and he hit the brakes. Now we didn't stop, we just kept on going. That light had been red for easily 7-8 seconds before we entered the intersection and for a second I thought we were gonna t-bone someone. Thankfully the cars that had been going East on Whyte had already cleared the intersection, so I relaxed a little as we kept sliding. Then I saw the truck coming at us. As I re-tightened my grip on the "holy shit" handle on the door, all I could think as that Ford F-150 with the shiny grill and what looked like a crack on the left side of the bumper as it kept coming was "Ahh, Fuck". I remember hearing someones brakes and I assume it was the trucks. I am grateful to fact that some people know how to winter drive as the driver managed to break and manuver around the back of the cab. I'm not sure when driver in the truck hit the horn, but as we nudge the curb on the corner by the gas station I certainly heard it then. As we backed up and straightened out for the second time in about 10 min I thought about walking the rest of the way. The only deterrent I had was looking at the people standing in the cold who were now looking at us in the cab. They looked a little too cold, so I gambled it. Once we hit 103st I paid the man, told him to drive safe and got the hell out.


Location: Iron Horse
Time: 11:30ish

As I got to the I-Ho I saw that there was already a line stretching to the corner of the building. I got in line and after about 10 minutes I realized I was behind a group of about 15 brown guys, so I wasn't getting in. I figured I'd try and do something about it so I headed to the back doors and talked to the bouncer manning the exit. I explained I was there for birthday and it was only me and wanted to know if he could let me in. He told me he couldn't but if I talked to "___" (don't remember the name) at the V.I.P. side of the doors he might be able to get me in ahead of some others. I headed over to the opposite side of the line and asked to speak with "___", the bouncer told me he was inside but I'd have to wait for him to come back out. I waited for about 5 minutes but the dude didn't come out. The next time the door opened I hoped it was the guy I was asking about but it wasn't, it was a different bouncer, but a guy I've seen at the gym a few times. I know he doesn't have a membership but his buddy Ian does and I've seen them work out together every now and then. I don't really know them on a name to name basis but more of a "head nod" basis. I also think Ian might have gone to high school with my brother. When this guy saw me he recognized me and gave me the nod so I nodded back. I did the usual and asked what he was up to and told him he was looking big. I also asked about Ian and if he was there and found out he was at a party somewhere. After a bit of pointless chit chat, the most I have ever spoken to him or Ian for that matter, he asked what I was doing there. I told him the situation and he said forget the line and told me to head in with him. He talked to the girl and the guy at the cover charge booth and told me to have a good time. I said thanks and told him I'd see him at the gym. So just like that, no line, no cover, and I didn't get I.D. Sometimes there are other reasons why it's good to go to the gym.

As I made my way through the crowd the first thing I had to do was take a piss. Knowing Black Peter was in the washroom I prepared myself for the unwanted help he was going to give me. Once inside the washroom though I was surprised at how packed it was and I couldn't even see black Peter. I couldn't move around to much so I used one of the 3 urinals closest to the doors. I then squeezed my way to sinks and that's when I saw Black Peter. There was so many guys in the washroom that he couldn't move around, he was stuck on the far side and kind of looked helpless. After I chuckled at this for a few seconds I headed over to the bar and grabbed an MGD. The chick behind the bar complimented me on my cowboy hat and I did like wise as she was also wearing one. My cell had vibrated a few times as people at the Bank were begining to question where I was.

Once I got back downstairs it only took me a few seconds to find the girls as everytime we go to the I-Ho we usually get drinks from the same section of bar. I saw Slutty Wench first and as I walked by tipped my hat to her, she obviously didn't recognize me as she continued on to check out more pieces of meat. I headed into the group of the Tundra Fairy, Sexy Girl, Mermaid, and Wench and they all rejoiced as they saw the bringing of good times. After hugs all around and I think maybe a few pics, I sized up the situation and told them all to go dance. They all seemed to be on a decent amount of the sauce so I figured I'd let them all enjoy the night the way they wanted. I came across Race Car Show Girl, Wonder Woman, and Ballerina and for the second night in a row they really didn't seem to happy to see me. In an attempt to avoid making things uncomfortable or anyone cry I figured I head back to the Bank as already I got to see the smile on the face of Northern Tundra Fairy. Once I made sure everyone was going to dance I figured I'd leave before they realized it. On my way to the exit I had someone grab me by the waist and it was the Tundra Fairy. I explained the situation and how it was her night so I didn't want to ruin it by pissing her friends off even more. She told me they were just tired from the night before and didn't really feel like drinking. After a bit more convo I grabbed a booth and everyone else came and joined us. I finally got to meet Tundra Fairies friend Ben (Thug?) and once he found out who I was he had some strange words to say to me. At this point I was told that the unhappy girls wanted to go home, so I figured well if I'm going back to the Bank why not have the girls that want to party come with me. So while the girls waited for the coat check I had SWAT do some recon via texting and found out we would have no problem getting in over there.


Location: The Streets of Whyte Ave
Time: Bit after 12:30

Once outside in the cold I found out that the only girls coming with me were the Northern Tundra Fairy, Mermaid, Sexy Girl, and the Slutty Wench. In all there was five of us which I figured might make it hard to get a cabbie that would take all of us. For some reason Mermaid, Sexy Girl, and Wench decided to head East on Whyte which took us further away from the bulk of the bars. It took some time but once the Mermaid showed some leg we had a cab. With all the girls piled in the back I sat shotty in a cab for the second time that night. The cabbie began to complain about there being to many people but before he could finish I told him if he takes us I'll give him a good tip. On the trip back across the river the passengers in the back talked endlessly about girl things to which at one point I leaned over to the driver and while shaking my head I said "Women, pfft". After directing him to the Bank (which he had never heard of) we all piled out and the good tip I gave him was "Don't drive too fast cause it's icy!". Nah, just kidding. It would have been damn funny if I did though.


Location: The Bank
Time: maybe 1?

As we pulled out our I.D.s to get in the Bank the bouncer said "Cowboy, it's good to see you come back with a 4 to 1 ratio". I told him one of the girls was under 21 but it was also her birthday, he told me it wouldn't be a problem and we all headed in. I headed back to our tables and shook hands with all the now drunk partiers who I had left sober a few hours earlier. Everyone told me stories of what had happened while I was gone. I saw Little Red and told her that I had just been in the bathroom when she was looking for me. I did a quick head count and saw that we had lost a few (Ghostbuster, Rylee (?), and Douche Bag) but gained some (Gay Demon Fairy and Military Girl). I let the girls that just arrived have what was left of the champagne and once again ushered the girls to the dance floor. I downed a shot with Snap, Pop, and ManU but with the night almost over I decided that it wasn't worth it to try and catch up. With the drunkeness of a few of our group I decided I'd do a little babysitting, espcially with Little Red's ex-boyfriend there and her been known to get belligerent. As the night was coming to an end I did something that I only do once maybe every 3 years, if that. I danced with the Northern Tundra Fairy. Before everyone starts to freak out though, keep in mind it was a slow dance. I also did something I hoped I would have never done again and that was make that girl shed some tears.

With the lights coming on and most of us heading out we tried to figure out what else the night might have in store for us. Mr. Incredible managed to convince Mermaid, Sexy Girl, and Slutty Wench to walk all the way to Rose Bowl Pizza despite me telling them that it was too far and too cold. Tundra Fairy and myself were suppose to go with them but while I was making sure everyone had rides they left without us, thank God cause they walked. While waiting for Step Sisters dad to pick some of us up, a fight broke out on the street between a bunch of brown guys. I was glad to see that none of the boys joined in, especially Snap and Pop who right there watching it. The Fairy and I decided to see where Snap and Pop were going and they told us they were gonna split a cab with Fred Flinstone and some others. After I talked to Fred for a bit Snap realized that we knew each other and I explained how he's best friends with my sisters ex. We also bumped into a Fire Fighter who was an actual Fire Fighters sister. She thought it was strange that her brother wasn't out with us. About this time the Step Sisters late night driver pulled up and Step Sis, Red Riding Hood, and ManU piled in. They told us to get in but we didn't think they could fit 4 more of us in the truck. As Tundra Fairy and I went over to check it out we realized that because the Pirate wasn't going with us that all of us could have fit, so the two of us joined the 3 already inside. We tried to get the Kelloggs boys to get in but they were pretty set on trying to get to an after party. I later found out the were unable to get a cab for about 4hrs and ended up walking to the casino.


Location: Ride Home
Time: Depends cause the clocks went back

With Red Riding Hood, ManU, the Northern Tundra Fairy, the Step Sister, and myself in the truck we all talked about what had happened that night. The ride home was slow but we did make it home. After dropping the Tundra Fairy off at home the remaining 4 of us headed back to Castle Keep where ManU and the Step Sis would crash. I was expecting a phone call in the middle of the night from Mr. Incredible as he had said earlier that he had left he keys at home and would need a place to sleep, but he managed alright.


So it was a somewhat hectic night as I bar hopped to 2 birthdays only to join them together before the night was over. I missed out on events at both bars and some of the cast/supporting cast were not mentioned in my post above as I only heared about them but did not see them. I'll let the two who witnessed the events happen post about them rather than tell you what I heard.

Other than almost getting crushed by a truck,

I'd like to think I had a good time.

A Howler of a Night

So here we are kicking off season 2 of Adventures in E-town and though it may not have the budget of say "The O.C." I'd like to think it has more class. We should get some sort of theme song going like the O.C. or maybe just make one up. I'm gonna say "The Killers - Read My Mind". I like it, maybe the best song on the new album, it's catchy, easy to listen to, and the lyrics kind of fit. Ok forget that, as my iTunes just randomized a better choice is now playing. I'll keep the other one as a song for Francine. The new nominee and theme song is "K-Os - Sunday Morning" it's pretty self explanatory.

Anyway as we start the new season there may be some overlapping as Bryan says he's got some dvd extras that I wasn't involved in that he wants to include. I am however going to say that with the interest or lack of interest in this blog by the contributors and general public that doesn't leave comments, this time around when I post it's going to be more in depth. By that I mean we're going be talkin' all raw and shit about chicks, more incriminating things, more personal feelings and opinions, damn near no censorship, and of course a shit load more name dropping. Of course I can only write from my perspective so it'll probably be more common to hear things like "Jessie and Lindsey had sex".


So here we go, Adventures in E-town, Season 2


Balls Out.


The plan for this night has been something that was put into effect close to two months ago when Chimko bought four tickets to the Bears Halloween Howler. I can actually say that I didn't really want to go cause I was not impressed by the band line up or the guest hosts. Originally I had figured that maybe Thornley would be playing or possibly even Hawksley Workman. As the date neared I found out it was gonna be hosted by the cast of "Trailer Park Boys" and the bands playing were "Hinder" who was opening for "Default" of all bands. Yeah....pieces of shit. The thought of being in a room with 3,999 other drunk people all singing "Lips of an Angel" almost makes me want to kill myself, like wrap my car around a lamp post kill myself. That way I could experience a pain similar to what I imagine the singing to be like. Do I like the Trailer Park Boys? No, no I don't. Simple as that. Default? I don't have to say anymore.

As the date neared though I started to get a bit more in the mood as I began to get a bit edgy from all the weeks that past without drinking. If a pint of Guinness or a shot of Cabo is on the path to the dark side, then call me Anakin Skywalker. When people began telling me that they were paying $100+ for tickets to the Howler I figured what the hell, maybe I should check it out considering I paid $45.

As Friday the 27th began I was already balls tired as I hadn't slept much the week leading up to that day. Collectively I'm running on about 14hrs of sleep for the entire week so I feel very much like the living dead, which is very fitting for this time of year. Before I even start to prepare for the evening ahead I've got a laundry list of tasks that I've got to do and I don't think I accomplished a quarter of them. Luckily I managed to make it to the gym so that recharged my batteries a bit. After that I used a concoction of energy drinks to keep me afloat. Now most of you know me so you know I'm not talking about the convenience store drinks. I was using the lower end "EAS Piranha" to level my fix and "Red Line" to put me over the top. Once I began to crash I would hit up the "Liquid Speed" to ease the feeling. I know....it sounds fucked up. Once on edge I busted it downtown to see my sis and the girls at Marvel as they were gonna do my make up for my costume. One of the teachers has done makeup for a few movies so some of the girls watched to learn a few things outside the standard makeup procedures. She didn't charge me for it and also did a great job as I later found out when Fran saw my face and thought it was real. Once making it back to the north end I tossed on my costume and waited for Chris to pick me up. Once he did we headed down to the hotel where we had a couple of rooms for our group.


Location: Alberta Place
Time: 7

We all prepared for the night ahead by putting our costumes on and doing a little predrinking. I had brought the miscellaneous booze from my fridge which consisted of a few different flavors of coolers. After a couple I was disgusted by the taste so I went over to Chimko and Stefans room and grab some beers. As we waited for everyone to finish up getting ready we put back beers and finished off a bottle of Malibu which was consumed straight shot. On a side note I've never drank Malibu straight and can now say that I don't ever plan on doing it again, terrible stuff. Once we're all ready we head down to the lobby debating if we should take a cab or not. Once outside we see a cab waiting and figure that since there's one there we may aswell so we all piled in.

Location: Shaw Conference (Halloween Howler)
Time: ?

So after our $4 cab ride, which I think the meter starts at $3.60, we all pile out and the doors to the Howler. As we descend the stairs we get a good look at all the other costumes and it seems the possibilities for the night could be endless. After a thorough frisking, even more so for SWAT cause he's wearing a tactical vest with many pockets, we're allowed in. With the booze mixing with my cranked amount of energy drinks on an empty stomach I can say that I'm feeling strangely fine. Instead of trying to find the other people that we know are going to the Howler we decide our best bet is to get some drink tickets before the lines get too big. With the going rate of drink tickets being 1 at $4.75 we figured the best bet was the 9 for $40. With our drinks in hand we got lost in the crowds of fictional beings.

At one point someone from the Bear introduced the TPBs and they did their thing to welcome eveyone as I booed to everyones cheering. With all the halls at Shaw open to us they had 2 "bars", one at either end, and the stage was setup opposite the doors. I had a feeling that we'd be doing alot of walking/drinking and that turned out to be true as by the time you got from one end to the other you would need another drink. With the other guys opting to drink a variety I decided to stick with beer that way I could use the beer only line ups which went much quicker. I can say that not much really happened for the majority of the night other than a bit of mocking or lewd comments made about some of the costumes. That and alot of drinking and alot of walking.

We bumped into alot of people we knew and chatted a for a bit. The length of conversation usually depended on how well we knew them and how drunk us or them were. Often we'd break up into groups and try and find each other in the chaos that would happen around us. After one such parting I got word from Scarface that they met Gillian Foote and that she's bigger, as in wider, in person. Around this time I think Hinder came on stage, so I booed and we decided to go get some pizza.

While we stood eating our pizza I thought I saw the last person I expected to see there that night. As a line of girls passed by I saw such a familiar face that all I could say in utter shock and disbelief was "I think I just saw my ex-girlfriend go by". Now I had talked to her earlier that day and her plans had been to stay home and study, which is what she does, so it couldn't have possibly been her. Either way with that possiblility I decided I needed to get more drink tickets. This was not the wisest of decisions. Around this point I recall Hinder starting to play "Lips of an Angel" and I booed and shouted obscenities mercilessly.

Once I had my fill of the bashing, SWAT and I grab some drinks and headed to an open table. Before I sat down I noticed the table cloth was wet so I tore it off the table as the people around me looked on with chewy faces. I realized at this point that I was spinning drunk but the pizza and sitting really helped out alot. Also when ever I see or think I see that one girl it's like getting hit in the face with a bucket of cold water, very sobering. While sitting we saw Rob (Clark Kent/Superman) walking by and he came over and we talked about stupid shit as we caught up after not having seen him for a few years. We also had our first encounter with the Bumble Bee girl who was sitting with her friends at a table one over from ours. As the Bee girl fought off attempts by her friends to get her to go over to a table full of dudes beside ours she would shoot glances over to our table. Knowing my capabilities as a wingman are limitless I quickly formulated a plan and set it in motion. I went with the standard cut play, where even though the bar isn't in the direction of your goal, you run the play as close to the target as possible and cut over and back to the bar. While on the way though whoever you are wingmaning for makes contact and invites the target for a drink. The play ran flawlessly and once SWAT was in line for a drink with Bumble Bee I broke off to go mingle with some Banditos.

While doing some rounds and bumping into people I know I came across Frans posse. When I saw Brenna (Race Car Show Girl), Shanna (Wonder Woman), and Vanessa (Ballerina) I was sort of relieved but more so disappointed that Fran wasn't with them. As I tried to shoot the shit with the 3 girls I got the general feeling that they didn't want much to do with me, but before I could trail off in what I was saying and walk away I had someone jump into my side. It was my former girl in a fairy costume. She explained how her friends had an extra ticket so they invited her along at a discounted price as a bday present. After talking with her in that uncomfortable way you chat with a former flame when you're drunk, trying to avoid doing anything or saying anything that would make things more uncomfortable for yourselves and those around you, I got a call from SWAT trying to locate me. Once he found us out in the lobby he said his pleasantries to the girls and they sort of wandered away from the group of us. We stayed out in the lobby till I needed another drink and took the Tundra Fairy along with me as I would get her a birthday drink. Once up there she informed me they didn't have any tequila, something I had found out earlier. After we got our drinks we headed our separate ways as her friends were on one side and mine were on the other.

When I met up with the SWAT, and the long time missing Scarface and Cyrus, they were talking to Chelsey (Cleopatra) and her boyfriend. As they were talking I used the opportunity to take a piss so I headed into the mess they called a washroom. I say "mess" cause the floor was covered in various pieces of many costumes, mostly wigs which had become matted to the floor as everyone walked over them. Once finished I headed back into the hall to get another drink as I knew the night was coming to a close and had one ticket left. On my way back to where I had left the group I came across the Bumble Bee and figured it would be best to get SWAT back in there to continue where he had left off. Unfortuantely on our way to where the Bee was we stopped to talk to more people we knew and by the time we were done the Bumble Bee had flown away. This was where bad decisions were made.

As we waited in line for more drinks, which now that I think about it makes no sense cause I didn't have any tickets left, SWAT and myself started up a convo with a Cop and a Nurse. Now I'd like to tell you their real names, but I don't remember and I don't think I cared enough to ask. At first these girls seemed on the level but I wasn't paying that much attention to what they were saying. We found out they were sisters and a bunch of other useless facts that didn't register, but seeing as I'm a perfect gentleman, I nodded along anyway. So this goes on for bit until the blonde Nurse grabs me by the hand and tells me "we have to find Bubbles". Now I don't give a damn about Bubbles, by hey, it's not like I'm Jesus so I go along with it. This goes on for like 15min and this damn girl doesn't shut up about Bubbles, now there is a very thick line between being a fan and stalking and this girl was so far across that line she was already across the moat.

The inner sense of what is right or wrong in my conduct or motives, impelling me towards the right action keeps me from finishing this part of the night, I think about it and even write it out, but something about it or something in me prevents me from actually keeping it written, at least for now.


Location: Alberta Place
Time: 4:30a.m.

So back at the hotel the time has run on and it's nearing 4:30 in the a.m. In the hallway and the room next to us we hear something rowdy going on. We figured it to be a party but with only Cyrus and Scarface next door, we knew better. At one point I was out in the hall for some reason and happened to pass by a disgruntled pizza man as he had just come from their room, they denied ever ordering it. Around5:30 I had pretty much figured the alcohol to have worn off and decided to try and get some much needed sleep. It wasn't meant to be as I watched the room gradually get brighter.

With the whatever sunlight that could penetrate the clouds illuminating the room, I laid on my back on top of the sheets still in the clothes I wore the night before. With my cowboy hat tipped forward over my eyes I could at least enjoy the darkness until the others woke. When Chris finally woke we headed next door to see what had happened to Chimko and Stefan the night before. With room service waiting and no answer at their door Chris went downstairs to get an extra key card. Once in the room I was amazed at the condition it was in after only one night. Only Stefan was left as Chimko had sucessfully trashed the room like a wannabe rockstar and disappeared into the night. Empty bottles were strewn all over the room and pieces of furniture were tipped over or on end. The smell in the air was that of something God awful. The bed that Chimko was suppose to have been in had the sheets torn off as they were covered in what I could only assume was vomit. As Stefan was woken from his sleep, we found that he was also shocked as to what the room looked like and angry at the fact that Chimko was missing. After a quick clean up to at least try and make the room look respectable we packed up our shit and made a break for the exit.

Once back in the Keep after a quick trip to the south side to drop off Stefan, I tried to settle my head. With no sleep and body coursing with booze that I had thought had left me some point in the night, the shortest of road trips had kicked my motion sickness into high gear. With my cell ringing constantly from people trying to find out the details of Katies bday and multiple screens on my msn flashing I hit the barely legal substances to hydrate my body. After doing my best to organize something for the night my eyes began to close only to open as I had the spins. I pondered the thought of going M.I.A. for the night and skip the two birthdays I was suppose to attend. As I laid on the couch helpless like a booze filled baby I realized no one would let that fly. I did my best to suck it up and realized that there was no point in laying around as I still had shit to do before the sunset. After visiting my dad in the hospital and grabbing a Triple-O burger from the food court I gave Katie a call to make sure she hadn't canceled on everyone, as due to the situation she wasn't feeling up to it. I made it back to the Keep and before I knew it Keith was already over drinking his prestigious Grey Goose.

I may as well end it here cause I'm already starting to overlap into my next post. I figure Bryan and Lindsey are going to have to post about the 28th. I can't write about what happened at the I-Ho before I got there (Lindsey) and I don't know what happened at the Bank from the time I left till the time I got back (Bryan). So our 3 posts are gonna intersect.

I'll leave it at that for now.

Well, on a final note.

Chimko hasn't been seen since.
